Chapter 1145: The Great Method of Diverting Conflicts

"I advise you not to press the alarm. I know what you are thinking, and I also know that you are not honest. To be honest, I didn't intend to pry into your memory, but don't blame me for offending you now."

The next moment, Charles directly invaded the deputy manager's brain and began to search for memories in his brain. However, Charles soon found that this was a chore, because the deputy manager almost seized any time to mix with all kinds of women.

Even on weekdays, this guy would leave the company to hang out with some women who only wanted money. The most important thing was that this guy's behavior was really too perverted, and it was so disgusting that Charles almost vomited.

It took more than ten minutes to finally find a secret meeting three months ago. The other party turned out to be the current mayor of New York City, Jerome.

In other words, the New York Times' smear campaign against mutants was actually planned three months ago.

If it was a sudden smear campaign, it might be influenced by subjective factors, but a planned smear campaign certainly was not a spur-of-the-moment move - obviously at least the New York Times' smear campaign against the mutant community was planned and organized, and it was only the first media outlet Charles investigated, and it was the first one to be caught.

Charles originally didn't agree with Eric's suggestion, but now he finds that some things are not as optimistic as Charles thought.

When Charles was looking through the deputy manager's memory, the entire New York Times office staff on this floor were controlled by Charles, and in a short time Charles successfully obtained the information he wanted.

"You will forget all of this, but a week later you will feel guilty and will take the initiative to reveal to other media that you fabricated fake news. Of course, to be on the safe side, you will directly choose a live TV program because you are worried that your words will be used by someone with ulterior motives, so you must apologize in the live TV program."

Charles was not polite this time and directly deleted the deputy manager's memory of seeing him and Scott, and then gave the deputy manager a mental hint that the deputy manager would tell the truth to the public in a week because of the condemnation of his conscience.

"I understand. You are right. I will take the initiative to reveal the truth because I feel guilty." The deputy manager's dull eyes made him look like a puppet being manipulated.

Then Charles and Scott left the New York Times without any intention of staying any longer. Then Charles went to other newspapers in New York. After all, there were at least twenty newspapers in New York.

After the visit, Charles was surprised to find that, just as Eric had guessed, most of the newspapers were engaged in planned and organized smear campaigns. Of course, some newspapers also deliberately fabricated false news simply to follow the news trends, just to cater to the public's habits and gain some news buzz.

Although this kind of newspaper is not strong in subjective malice, it is still harmful. For a little bit of hot spots, they can fabricate news and guide public opinion regardless of facts. They are no more noble than those news media that deliberately discredit mutants.

After visiting these newspapers in New York, Charles realized that there was indeed a huge force behind the malicious smear campaign against the mutant community. As for the fundamental purpose of this smear campaign, no one knew yet.

Similarly, Mora also used his connections in the CIA to dig out some gossip - it's not that the CIA's people are too incompetent, but mainly because the CIA itself is an official agency and it is impossible for them to blatantly investigate sensitive information. They usually find the information they need from a lot of clues.

After being certain that there was a hidden hand behind this, Charles began to investigate further, and a week passed in a flash.

As a result, the deputy general manager of the New York Times publicly admitted in a live interview on TV that the New York Times was under tremendous pressure and had to maliciously discredit the mutant community in its publicity. As it was a live broadcast, the news quickly spread around the world.

There was a huge uproar at the time - of course it was not because the mutant community itself had much public opinion power, but mainly because the deputy general manager of the New York Times used the "situation of black people" to compare mutants in the conversation -

This was an era when racial discrimination was prevalent, which suddenly stirred up the emotions of black people. The original mutants were directly transformed into a racial issue, and the New York Times encountered a large number of attacks from black people.

Of course, the mutant group's status as victims in this incident was suddenly replaced by black people, so that in the end everyone completely forgot the original intention.

"This is a powerful propaganda expert! He diverted everyone's conflict points, and soon the news that smears mutants will be covered by the news of black riots. Anyway, the black people have been fighting for their rights for a long time, but the news about mutants has been suppressed."

Charles has been paying close attention to the developments in the public opinion circle recently. Apparently, this time someone has come up with a new electronic solution to the negative news about mutants.

"So it's so difficult for mutants to just fight for a peaceful future?" Charles smiled bitterly. Raven went to another parallel world, where mutants were almost destroyed by sentinel robots, but there were no sentinel robots in this world.

It’s a pity that although the Sentinel robots are gone, the situation of the mutants is still difficult.

"Maybe I need some advice." Charles contacted Eric and went to visit Su Xiuyu together on the weekend.

Eric did not refuse this time, because the recent situation also made Eric see the changes in Charles. At least Charles had indeed begun to fight, so Eric finally agreed.

When I arrived at Su Xiuyu's manor at the weekend, I saw Psylocke, who had joined Su Xiuyu before, using her abilities to cultivate lawns and shrubs. However, when she saw Charles and Eric, Psylocke did not seem embarrassed, but was immersed in the joy of being a gardener.

“Are you working as a gardener?”

"That's about right. My ability is quite convenient for trimming bushes." Psylocke responded with a smile while continuing to trim the bushes.

"Uh... don't you think it's inappropriate?"

"No, Lord Xiu Yu sometimes does some construction himself. It's normal." Of course, there was a reason why Psylocke was so obedient. When she first came, Psylocke had fought with Harribel, and Psylocke was beaten to a pulp by Harribel.

As a soul being, Harribel's speed, strength, defense and even the essence of life are all better than Psylocke's, so Psylocke finally lost with conviction. However, such a strong man admitted that he was no match for Su Xiuyu, and strictly speaking, he was not even a match for her, which made Psylocke even more curious about Su Xiuyu's true strength.
